Meeting Qiao Fengying this time felt odd for Su Xiaofei, now that her real father knew about her existence. How was she supposed to face him now? She hadn't known what it felt like to be loved and doted by a father, and wondered if Qiao Fengying would treat her the same as before.
As she waited for her father to arrive, she and Lu Qingfeng sat in the hallway where her blood and Qiao Fengying's blood were to be tested to confirm his paternity. Su Xiaofei already knew the inevitable result, but her heart was thumping loudly in her chest, making her doubt what she was even feeling at the moment.
They didn't wait for too long as Qiao Fengying, along with his wife and Qiao Yuhan came to see her. The three had rushed to Qiying City after Qiao Fengying talked to Yun Qingrong a day before.
"Fei Jie!" Qiao Yuhan beamed her a smile and ran towards her with open arms. He gave Su Xiaofei a big hug and looked up at her with a glint in his dark eyes. It was then Su Xiaofei thought that she truly didn't mind being his elder sister this time.
"Is it true? Dad said you're my sister. You're really my big sister?" He bombarded her with questions. It was obvious that Qiao Fengying had informed the boy and his wife about the possibility of her being the daughter he'd been looking for.
Qiao Yuhan was ecstatic to hear that the beautiful sister he met in the past was the sister they'd been looking for. He definitely wouldn't complain about having Su Xiaofei as his sister.
Su Xiaofei glanced at their father, who finally reached them with Liu Shulan by his side. Qiao Fengying had a happy but nervous expression on his face, as if he was itching to pull her into a hug, but decided not to.
Returning her gaze towards her younger brother, Su Xiaofei ruffled his hair and laughed. There was no doubt that she and Qiao Yuhan were siblings.
"Isn't that why we are here? To know if I am or not?" She said in a playful tone and tapped the tip of his nose.
"Then I hope that the result will be positive! I can't wait to call you my sister this time! I'll even get a new big brother as a package." Qiao Yuhan grinned as he glanced at Lu Qingfeng.
Lu Qingfeng looked uncomfortable hearing Qiao Yuhan's words, but didn't dare to make any comment about the boy's statement. Qiao Yuhan was right anyway. He was technically his brother-in-law now.
However, he was never used to having such close relations, except for Su Xiaofei. He hadn't told his wife yet, but Lu Qingfeng's view on family and familial ties weren't really good due to his parents' maltreatment towards him when he was younger, but he was willing to try to change for Su Xiaofei's sake, if it would make her happy.
"Xiaofei, thank you for agreeing to take the paternity test with me. I know this isn't easy for all of us, especially for you." Qiao Fengying said as he stood behind his young son. He was hopeful that his search would finally be over once the results were out.
A part of him was happy, seeing that his children were getting along with each other even before the secret was out. He then wondered how long had Su Xiaofei known that she was adopted by Yun Qingrong and if the thought of her being his missing daughter had ever crossed the young woman's mind.
"It's no problem, Uncle Qiao. I didn't expect you to easily accept me as your daughter with mere verbal claims either. It's only natural that you would ask for a valid proof to support my mother's claim." Su Xiaofei replied with a weak smile. She would be lying to herself if she didn't admit that she was also nervous today.
Qiao Fengying nodded in understanding, and they didn't waste time entering the room where their samples would be taken, leaving Lu Qingfeng, Qiao Yuhan and Liu Shulan outside to wait for their return.
Qiao Fengying allowed the lab staff to take Su Xiaofei's sample first, paying attention to how she was taking this news. In his heart, he already accepted her as his daughter. Perhaps they were destined to cross paths years ago, to lead them to this very moment.
He and Liu Shulan believed, without a doubt, that she was the child Bai Qingyue abandoned many years ago. This paternity test would only prove their assumptions and evidence he could use to add Su Xiaofei as one of his heirs in the future.
He wanted to make up for the loss of time they'd been apart and be a good father to Su Xiaofei. He had completely missed out on so many important milestones in her life, except for her wedding day. As he looked at his daughter, Qiao Fengying wondered how she fared when she was growing up.
Su Xiaofei was lucky that she was adopted by Yun Qingrong, and seeing how the two interacted with each other, Qiao Fengying could see that they were rather close.
'I wonder if there would be a chance for us to develop that kind of connection.' He thought.
He understood that Su Xiaofei would need some time to get used to having him in her life as her father, and he didn't mind giving her all the time she needed to adjust. Thankfully, his wife understood him and was supportive of his decision to add Su Xiaofei to his will and testament.
'If she's your daughter, then you would need to make it up to her. She deserves to get her share too. Xiao Han and I don't mind having her as part of our family.' Liu Shulan told him.
"President Qiao, it's your turn now."
Qiao Fengying took a seat on the one Su Xiaofei vacated, hoping that the results would be favorable to them.
